j/k. i'll just slash your tires when you're in the bathroom. haha.


anyways.. HSers pay 15 dollars for as many runs as you want. lol.
i don't know how many HSers there are.. so i'll call em tomorrow.

it's friggin cheap. too bad it's far. but now they also have a top cop thing. we can race against patrol cars. i wonder how fast those crown vics are anyways... *getting ideas.*. haha.

haha the shirt is all mine but seriously it sucks that the tracks are so far away. Ill probably go out on the 14th because im on spring break and won't have to cut class just to make it out on time.

you need to present a HS ID

and you race alone i think, not against anyone in the other lane, its cheaper, but i like pullin on the guy next to me


the crown vics are slow
they run 16 and 17's


wait til you get out there.. launching correctly to run a low 14 stock is hard

i think i should be in the high 12's with the vf30. Also my friend will probably come with me. He has a gsx and just put in a t3/t4 50 trim w/ tial external wastegate. If he goes and his car is tuned by then he'll be the fastest for sure, probably get a low 12 second pass easly.

im really confused. if they run 13s.. why are the best runs for a lot of those dates in the 15? seem slow to me. i'm sure many of us can pull of 15s in stock wrxs.
